Tonight's Turnout

Tonight was cool. We met some new people, reestablished some friendships, and generally had a great time talking, eating snacks and enjoying the holiday atmosphere.

Who stopped by:
Neighbors from around the corner (2 adults, 4 kids) - moved here in July
Neighbors from across the street (2 adults, 3 kids) - moved here in September
Neighbors from across the street (2 adults, 4 kids) - Friends from a sponsoring church
Neighbors from around the corner (2 adults, 4 kids) - Acquaintances from the past year or so
Friends who have been interested in our church (2 adults, 1 kid)
Team members (2 adults, 1 kid)

So at the end of the evening, there were 29 people (not including our family) at my house tonight.

Your results may vary... :)

That's cool. Consider this one stolen, bro...

BTW, did you knock on doors, or just leave the hangars? I was interested to know if the people that did come were personal contacts or simply responded to the door hangars...

Jason, I basically just put them on doors. There were few people even at home during the mornings I was putting them out. So the ones who showed up really did just respond to the door hangers.

Not sure if telling people that I'm a pastor scared anyone away or not...
